My claim from the beginning of this thread is that God never told nor gave anyone a reason for what God did, and that what we read in the quoted text is precisely one person's opinion about what happened and God never killed anyone, not even those you listed, which is the equivalent of the history of Biafra as written by the conquering looters!

But, YHWH said he wiped them from the land because of their sins.

Are you saying some writer lied against YHWH?

so those kids are wicked!
They were young men not kids. And they were 42 Satanic sponsored young men to one man. They got what was coming to them.

Its obvious they were doing that often, but met their Waterloo.

His compassion is not an excuse to continue living in sin. Haven't you heard of the global flood of Noah, (with unbelievable evidences around the world)?. Haven't you heard of Sodom and Gomorrah? Haven't you heard that millions of people are still hell? We need to stop deceiving our filthy selves
Here is the deal, right?
First, God sent to those bears in accordance with the curses associated with the covenant between Him and the Israelites. Elisha only activated those curses that triggerred and set the wild animal bears to come after their misbehaving young men adult children

Second, dont attribute an adjective that is not becoming of God to Him. God is not evil, is not wicked and God certainly isnt ruthless. Nwanne capisce?

I didn't call GOD evil. I mean he will show no mercy to the wicked in the day of judgment. I think the word ruthless is just too much. Will edit soon.

What are you on about with this comment. What crime against humanity are you talking off here. Are you aware of the historical story of those young men's town or city? Can you imagine how Abraham and Jacob would have felf in their graves at the rebuffs of these young men, hmm? What injustice against the poor in the old testament in relation to this unnecessary tragic event brought upon themselves did Jesus condemn?
Jesus said David ate the bread made for the preists and nothing happened to David and his soldiers think of it if David was nobody what do you think could have happened to David? In old testaments two major sins have been the issues which are worshipping idols and oppressing the poor! Check the book Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel you will see clearly there.

They werent kids, these were young men on a concerted attack and organised mission that God and His prophet representing Him, are not wanted, would not be tolerated, are not welcome in their city.

Nothing hilarious in this tragic incident, but quite a lot to learn from and out of it, I'll say.

There isnt any struggle in explaining the passage. The passage is more like, if you know, you know. Who no know, no go know

They werent children, they were youths, young men, about same age as Elisha in fact, when the bears attacked.

Death is inevitable. Something must kill a man. Death will come and is mandatory too

Death is a universal truth that can never be defied. We cant change this truth, we all are born with limited breath. Weirdly enough, when you come to think of of it, there are no punishment far worse than death.

They were killed, mauled by the bears. The young men were frozen to the spot with fright when the bears appeared. They likely wanted to run but their feet were literally rooted to the ground, as if glued to the spot and locked-in to the ground. They couldnt run, because they were paralysed out of fear of seeing two blood thirsty bears baying for their puny hide and arse.

Ecclesiastes 7:17 states that: "Do not excel at wickedness, nor be a fool. Why die before your time?"

Those young men got their comeuppance. They carelessly shortened their lives by their bad and/or foolish actions. Abraham and Jacob, probably were turning in their graves at the behaviour of those young men. Abraham and Jacob, were probably rubbing their eyes in disbelief, wondering isnt this the same Bethel we knew and a place we associated with God.

It is tragic, that because Deuteronomy 6:2 was ignored, the young men didnt live a long time, didnt enjoy a long life and the promise that their days may be long didnt happen for them.

There was a covenant between them and God. The covenant had terms and conditions. Read Deuteronomy 5:1-33 and Deuteronomy 6:1-25, to know more about the covenant made between them and God at Mount Horeb.

The contribution OLAADEGBU posted on that thread went swoosh over everyone's head, like as if it was a Naija Airforce fighter jet and "people didn't know warris going on"

Keep on masturbating all over the thread as usual. The plain fact is no matter how much you try to spin this Elisha story it is bad for him and for his God.
",Go up baldie"is now a sin in the books of Elisha and his God.Then the appropriate punishment is to be mauled to death by bears. This is why I always say having a discussion with religionists requires suspension of the use of the brain.
Reasoning with religionists is an effort in absurdity just like smacking your head against a concrete wall. cry

You know very well Shepherd that I always make sense and that it annoys you just because you don't agree with the sense I make.

The writer wrote what the writer understood and wanted you to read Shepherd. It is you who can't make sense of what the writer wrote and had to rely on someone telling you what it meant and the sense it made. Trust me.

The direct and plain fact is that, the comment "go up baldie" actually was a mockery statement telling Elisha to go to hell, go up in blazes just like his boss Elijah did, that they had and want nothing to do with God nor His representative Elisha.

According to the terms and conditions of the Covenant between the Israelites and God, that was the expected punishment, as in, to be mauled by wild animals, literally or figuratively

Christian's like to lie and pretend their gospel was spread peacefully when in actual fact they are as blood thirsty and intolerant as the muslims.
Apart from all the genocide committed by their god and his so called prophets in the old testament the spreading of the Pauline gospel was superintended with as much violence and intolerance as Al Qaeda and Boko haram.
You only need to goggle early christianity and violence to get the full gist.
The Christian's on this thread while wanking themselves off mentioned Hollywood movies like "Bruce almighty::and "Liar,liar"as examples of how difficult it is to be god. Such movies have no basis in reality and are as imaginary and absurd as their religious manual written and produced by the Roman's.

While we are on Hollywood films,I suggest films steeped in real history such as the movie "Agora" 2009. You might learn something about how christianity was spread with violence and intolerance of dissenting views.

I'm going to assume that you are not some ignorant religious person who believes the little he knows and cares more about facts and the truth. Please don't prove me wrong.

To start with, Christianity did not start with Constantine and his mother Helena, nor was Constantine the only Christian. And Muslims and Christians are those who adhere to the teachings of those religions and not the ignorant foolish idiots who go about shouting Lord Lord.

Muslims and Christians are not as bloodthirsty as you claim and you just need step out your door to know this. In fact, you don't likely have to step out your door if your patents were Muslims or Christians. I don't know them but I can bet my last dime that they do not and have never thirsted for blood.

Madam,
Christianity were a rag pack of prosecuted and unorganized preachers until Constantine and his mother created the falsehood you have today.
Do you really believe the gospels in the Bible were the only gospels? Those books in the Bible were forced into one book by Roman decree. Most of the other gospels and religious books were burned. People who paraded books not in the official Roman Bible were executed.
If that is not violence then I wonder what violence is.

It is written that If all the trees of the earth were pens and the oceans ink, with many more oceans for replenishing them, the colloquy of God would never come to end. He is indeed all-mighty and all-wise". You may see a list of some books that a decree eliminated from the Bible here.

If a single person has an imaginary friend they're insane. If a group of people have an imaginary friend its called religion
Having imaginary friends is not uncommon in some many growing up kid's lives, but they soon or later outlive the "usefulness and/or company" of those friends.

If you were someone that is bible literate, you would have known that:
1/ God is not an imaginary friend
2/ Religion that is true, pure and without any fault has to do with compassion. True, pure and one without any faults, has to do with having concern(s) for the sufferings or misfortunes of others and being sympathetic towards them

"Nwanne, Christianity, never started in any upper room on any day of Pentencost. Christianity, as in, Constantine Christianity, in cahoot with the "church" started in Rome."
- Re: Oblate Eusebius Oguizu Is Dead: Founder Of Block Rosary Crusade In Nigeria Dies by MuttleyLaff: 8:33am On May 30

"... the catholic started Christianity, this so, because the Roman Catholic Church was formed, after shady deal(s) and/or sell-out to the State by the "Church", as it was the Roman Emperors Constantine's and Licinius' Edict of Milan in AD 313 which established a policy of religious freedom for all, as in, this was a proclamation that permanently legalised Christianity in the Roman Empire, and so paved the way for Christianity to be the official religion of the entire Roman Empire too.

The introduction of pagan religions and assimilation of paganism influences was a tragic compromise by the early believers, as this resulted in the Romanization and paganization of the early believers' faith and the "Christianization" of pagan beliefs as we not just know but celebrate then and celebrate even up until now.

Anyway, the Roman Empire, adopted the Roman Catholic Church (i.e. RCC) as "official" church during Roman Emperor Constantine's reign, and it's worth noting, that, the supremacy of the Roman bishop (i.e. the papacy or pope) was set up, put into place, aided and abetted through the support of the Roman Emperors (i.e. notably Constantine and his successors)

Recall that I earlier mentioned the Edict of Milan in AD 313, which was a letter signed by the Roman Emperors Constantine and Licinius, that proclaimed religious toleration in the Roman Empire, well, in AD 325, Constantine called the First Council of Nicaea in AD 325, in an attempt to unify Christianity when doctrinal disputes arose, like for example Arianism, all about doctrines named after Arius, a teacher in the early 4th century A.D and so Constantine presided over this first ecumenical church council

So quick recap, by the 1st century AD, ekklēsia birthed on the teachings of Jesus Christ and later founded on the day of Pentecost in the upper room with a bunch of 120 believers.

By the 2nd century AD - believers already denouncing teachings, seen as heresies, such as Gnosticism, Montanism etcetera.

In the 4th century AD - ekklēsia was transformed, emerged Christians, an evolved "church", finally gets legalized and then promoted by Emperors Constantine and Theodosius I, as the state church, of the Roman Empire and so yes also that, legendarymega is right, that the Catholics, are the original owner of your bible, because truly, the RCC are the original owner of your bible version(s), because incidentally and truly, those versions were made off the back of "The Vulgate", which was an accepted Latin translation of the original Old and New Testament texts.

Some even called, "The Vulgate", the "The Vulgar" bible. Anyway, Jerome, of RCC, was the person, who translated the original Old and New Testament texts and compiled them into a single volume of the 66 books we enjoy today

I agree with you that Christianity was spread through violence and intolerance once Constantine and his mother Helena decided to make it the official state religion. I've on varied occassions, typed about how the church was romanticised by Constantine and etcetera and also why I often type that, if only more christians read their bibles there'd be less christians.

Please dont be dishonest and desperate to make a point. The bible preaches passive resistance, love of peace, reconciling with adversaries, turning the other cheek, handing off the shirt on ones back etcetera

You are very free to avoid me for whatever reason you so desire, I have no control over what you do nor did I pay for your data! And while you are it, leave my gender and bat or birdness out of it too as it's irrelevant to the discussion at hand!

Your point is noted but wrong. The fact that some claim to adhere to a religion does not mean they do. Such people are specifically mentioned as saying Lord Lord but not doing the will of the Lord, and we are specifically told to:

“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them."

Christians who point fingers at Muslims should learn to mind the forest in their own eye instead of worrying about the twig in the eyes of Muslims. And intelligent people do not tarnish a whole bunch because of a bad few.

You are very free to avoid me for whatever reason you so desire, I have no control over what you do nor did I pay for your data! And while you are it, leave my gender and bat or birdness out of it too as it's irrelevant to the discussion at hand!

Your point is noted but wrong. The fact that some claim to adhere to a religion does not mean they do. Such people are specifically mentioned as saying Lord Lord but not doing the will of the Lord, and we are specifically told to:

“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them."

Christians who point fingers at Muslims should learn to mind the forest in their own eye instead of worrying about the twig in the eyes of Muslims. And intelligent people do not tarnish a whole bunch because of a bad few.


Are you ashamed of being a woman? I see you go to great extremes to hide your gender on these boards,why?
I know a lot of posters mistake you for a man but why the subterfuge.
My main issue with you is that nobody knows where you stand on issues of religion. Your attempts to balance on the fence is confusing as you come across as neither a bird or a bat.
Just how you masquerade your gender.
I have made my point that all religions are violent and intolerant of divergent views.
Good night madam. grin

any man who justified the killing in the bible by claiming that God instructed them to do so in fact you are nothing but alqaida!
What can I say to someone as slow as you?

Let me leave you to banter with YHWH here;

Deuteronomy 32:39-42 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: ~~~I kill, and I make alive;~~~ I wound, and I heal:~~~ neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenge upon the enemy.


Jehovah must be an algaida.

Have you noticed how my divergent views bring out the intolerance and violence in you Dante? I think you need to abandon the religion that makes you so!

I am not ashamed of my gender Dante, and hide it to avoid patronising pigs who instead of engaging with topics at hand want to focus on my tits. See it as saving you from being blinded by them.

It is you who need me to be one thing or the other for reasons best known to you. I myself am buda, and that, apart from what you read me write, is all that need concern you.

Find something to do about your violence and intolerance Dante. You might want to start by abandoning your religion that appears to make you so.
